What? No mention about the black porno nazi thing?

They didn't want to have to reference a porn website in a political ad.

Arizona Supreme Court deals GOP a blow with election ruling

The Arizona Supreme Court has ruled that nearly 100,000 voters facing questions over their citizenship documents can cast ballots on Nov. 5, with the chief justice saying they were "unwilling" based on the facts of the case to "disenfranchise voters en masse" from participating in state elections.

In the ruling Friday, the court found that the Maricopa County recorder and other county recorders lack the authority to change voter registration statuses to solely federal ballots, as those voters registered long ago, The Associated Press and Arizona Family reported.

“We are unwilling on these facts to disenfranchise voters en masse from participating in state contests,” Chief Justice Ann Scott Timmer said in the ruling. “Doing so is not authorized by state law and would violate principles of due process.

The New York fucking Times fact-checked the debate comments about Trump's (and Harris') comparable crowd sizes, etc.

Trump Claims Harris’s Rallies Are Smaller. We Counted.
(Sorry, it's behind a subscription wall. Whatever...)

We attended six rallies — every campaign event that the candidates held within a three-week period in August — across six states, taking photographs and capturing video and 360-degree footage, to analyze which claims on crowd sizes hold weight. The analysis found that, despite Mr. Trump’s claims, both candidates draw comparably big audiences.

I wonder how many human-hours, how many salaries, how much photographic and other equipment, air flights, and so on were involved/spent/used up/destroyed to complete this endeavor. But hey, we got the following image macro for future memes out of it, so nothing wasted, eh?

I'm going to enjoy not having a narcissistic fascist in charge of our future.

I've heard that the polling numbers to watch are not "Who are you planning to vote for" but "Who do you think will win", in that the latter track more closely to the actual election results.

What do you think the word "leftist" means? Many leftists are actually refusing to support Harris.

What do you think ...

You're going way, way out on a limb, there, GoblinCampFollower .

Other than that, what actual benefits do you expect to enjoy as a result of a Trump presidency? Looking at it from outside, it's difficult to understand why anyone would vote for someone so obviously impaired.

I'd love to see how BilliJo wants to respond in their own words, but I can just say that most Trump supporters seem to blame Biden for the COVID recession and credit Trump for the boom he inherited from Obama. The data doesn't really line up with this perspective but I do understand why so many think this way. There are many other reasons people give that I have a harder time relating to.

That seems, though, to imply governments in general, and presidents in particular, possess a great deal more power to influence economic events than they, or anyone else, actually possess. Trump's policies, from what I've read, appear positively harmful -- his enthusiasm for tariffs, in particular, seems based on a complete misunderstanding of how they work and who pays them (US taxpayers in this case, not foreign exporters).

You're preaching to the choir here, haha. But this is a very common misconception in every country. It's especially comical when a tiny nation will riot against their current government over gas prices as if their little island has much say in global oil markets.

You Trumpers have moved the Overton Window so far to the right that even the center-right Democrats appear "leftist" to you.

That's sad.
